Yanks is a 1979 John Schlesinger film, set in World War II in the village of Dobcross, in Lancashire, England. Starring Richard Gere, Vanessa Redgrave, William Devane, Lisa Eichhorn, Rachel Roberts and Tony Melody.

Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, CBE (29 March 1936 -- 24 December 2012) is an English composer renowned for his film scores and his jazz performance as much as for his challenging concert works. He has lived in New York City since 1979.
Despite his early studies in modernist techniques, Bennett's tastes are catholic. He has written in a wide range of styles, including jazz, which he has particular fondness for. Early on, he found success by writing music for feature films, although he considered this to be subordinate to his concert music.
He has written music for films and television; among his scores are the Doctor Who story The Aztecs (1964) for television, and the feature film Billion Dollar Brain (1967). His scores for Far from the Madding Crowd (1967), Nicholas and Alexandra (1971), and Murder on the Orient Express (1974), each garnered him Academy Award nominations, with Murder on the Orient Express earning him a BAFTA award. Later works include Enchanted April (1992), Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), and The Tale of Sweeney Todd (1998). He is also a prolific composer of orchestral works, piano solos, choral works and operas. Despite this eclecticism, Bennett's music rarely involves crossover of styles.
